The SUMO ceramic stool is a masterful blend of heritage and contemporary design, handcrafted in a traditional wood-fired dragon kiln in Guangdong. With its bold square shape, subtly curved sides, and smooth flat top, this piece embodies both strength and elegance—much like the poised and powerful stance of a sumo wrestler.

Designed as a clean and minimalist canvas for glaze artistry, the classic Cantonese green glaze flows organically across its surface, creating mesmerizing, one-of-a-kind patterns. The time-honored glazing formula, derived from natural ashes and minerals, ensures that each stool carries a unique character shaped by the unpredictable beauty of the kiln.

Balancing simplicity with heritage, the "SUMO" stool is an ideal addition to a modern home—offering functionality, artistry, and a connection to traditional craftsmanship. Whether used as a seat, side table, or decorative statement, it seamlessly merges the past with the present, embodying the philosophy that true elegance lies in simplicity.

DISCLAIMER

1. Our products are handcrafted and fired in a traditional wood-fired dragon kiln, where natural and unpredictable conditions—such as temperature, humidity, and firing atmosphere—create unique variations in every piece. As a result, color tones, glaze patterns, and surface details may differ from one item to another, sometimes leading to unexpected and beautiful surprises.

2. Due to the nature of the firing process, minor imperfections such as blemishes, surface scratches, and visible restoration marks are inevitable. These characteristics are part of the artistry and authenticity of traditional ceramics.

3. If you are unable to accept these natural variations and imperfections, please refrain from purchasing.
